The Bombardier Global 5500 and Global 5000 are ultra-long-range private jets designed and manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace. The Global 5500 was introduced in May 2018 as an upgrade to the Global 5000. It features a longer range, improved performance, and advanced avionics and systems.
Flying magazine reports, “Along with the introduction of the Nuage seating, the Global 5500 is equipped with Bombardier Pũr Air, a sophisticated air purification system available exclusively on Global aircraft. The system’s advanced HEPA filter captures up to 99.99% of allergens, bacteria, and viruses and completely replaces the cabin air with 100% fresh air in as little as one-and-a-half minutes.”
Both NetJets and VistaJet offer the Global 5000 and Global 5500.

The Global 5000 made its first flight in March 2003. The aircraft featured a number of advanced design features, including a new wing design, powerful Rolls-Royce BR710-A2-20 turbofan engines, and a longer cabin with seating for up to 16 passengers. It was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January 2005.
In 2018, Bombardier Aerospace introduced an upgraded version of the Global 5000, known as the Global 5500. The new model featured updated avionics, a redesigned wing, and a new Rolls-Royce Pearl engine. The Global 5500 received certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in June 2019.
The Global 5000 and Global 5500 have a cabin height of 6.25 feet, a width of 8.17 feet, and a length of 42.47 feet. There are three passenger zones with forward and rear lavatories.
The Global 5500 is powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines, which provide a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.90 and a range of up to 5,700 nautical miles (6,556 miles). It has a maximum takeoff weight of 92,500 pounds and a maximum altitude of 51,000 feet.
A new Global 5500 is priced at $46 million. Used models are from around $18 million
